Commonly these boards are usedwith conductive paint that is applied with a brush to create an artistic drawing resulting in acircuit that reacts to human touch to trigger a user-specified sound or other actions. The team hascreated a sample design and used it at outreach activities, demonstrating that the Touch Boardswill be manageable for new learners under our students’ mentoring. The authors met with theFSF clients in Summer 2018 and have hosted the clients on campus to work with our studentsthree times in Spring 2019, with a few more meetings scheduled.

semester of 2017, a local inventor (2nd author of this paper) needed some CADmodeling support. We adapted our curriculum and made it a priority to help meet this need. Wewere rewarded for it - students loved these service projects. The S-L project served as a link fromengineering theory to everyday objects people can touch and see. Along the process they learnedwhat they needed to learn - the CAD tools. It was a win-win situation. In the following sections,we will document these activities and share some ABET outcome assessment results.The Wrap Rack ProjectOur university’s motto is "To Seek to Learn is to Seek to Serve."1 Service-Learning (S-L) haslong been recognized as an effective way of achieving multiple student learning outcomes

Once assembled,students were able to work together in their pre-assigned pairs to follow along step by step withthe content created by a CodeIT day team member.The curriculum introduced the students to the different programming categories and parts thatcould be added (i.e. text and speaker) on Kano’s integrated development environment, KanoWorld. The categories included events, control, logic, math, variables, color, lists and draw. Eachof the nine categories and their sub-functions were introduced to the students individually andthen were combined into several coding

greater benefit than those who viewed the entirecourse negatively.The middle-school students benefit from meeting near-peers who are willing to give ofthemselves and their time, receiving an aspirational view of the future, and being exposed toSTEM and STEM fields. The data collected from the college students show that the collegementors believe themselves to be providing a benefit to the younger students. Data collectedfrom the younger students is not yet available for the years including engineering students in theprogram.Our next steps are to further integrate the service learning program into the Introduction toEngineering curriculum, with more substantial reflection and synthesis, and in having theengineering majors mentoring each other

deepening the educationalexperience to equip graduates to succeed in the diverse global economy. Educating students tothrive in their careers with the technological, societal, cultural and environmental complexitiesthey will face requires new approaches. Modern discussions in engineering education consideradding required time to graduation to add time into the packed curriculum to address theseissues. Extended time to graduation is fraught with problems in today’s reality of the high costof education and political pressures especially with state supported institutions. An alternative isto consider new pedagogical approaches that can add efficiencies into the curriculum wherestudents can learn and gain experiences that will carry them successfully

One participant said, “The workshophelped me to raise awareness of what local materials could I use in case of an eventual change orcatastrophe.” Thus, the workshops were empowering to teach tools and encourage futureinnovations in a cooperative learning environment. As further evidence of their positive impact,several participants in all three workshops expressed their desire to teach their neighbors andfamily members do build the DIY solutions.5.
